2013-2014 Module Implementation
for ELA NYS has introduced “Module” units as a way of successfully
implementing all of the Common Core Shifts. A “Module” is an 8 week unit of study which incorporates a
fictional text and several corresponding informational texts. These “Modules” stress high-level analysis and text
dissection. In other words, this work will be extremely challenging and
require persistence in the classroom and at home. Content areas will begin applying these modules this year. These modules emphasize rigor, complex informational
texts, close reading, and analytical response to literature. In addition to the Module, ELA classrooms will continue with
the Reading and Writing Workshop Philosophy, maintaining a focus on student accountability.
![Page 23: WELCOMEWELCOME Team 8 Green. TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More--Unknown The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/56649e045503460f94af0d9d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Examples of Module Questioning
Pre-Module Questioning: In “The Gettysburg Address,” Lincoln says the nation
is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?
Questioning with Module Implementation: “The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776.
According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech?

There will be 6 assessments administered throughout the year that are aligned with the state standards.
Successful completion of the Foreign Language class and the proficiency exam at the end of the year will earn each student High School credit.
